Tacos and Taco Salads

Taco meat from the Instant Pot means less hands on time!!

Sooo. Christmas has come and gone, leftovers are eaten up. How about something simple and easy? Tacos? Taco Salad? How about in the Instant Pot? Taco meat? In the Instant Pot? Yes. I was skeptical but this works. I know that taco meat is so easy to do on the stove. My kids have been doing it since eight years of age. But, why not try something new. I have not let me children use the Instant Pot yet.

This method for making taco meat isn't necessarily a time saver. But it takes less hands on time. While the pressure cooker is doing it's thing vegetables can be prepped, the internet can be surfed. Christmas decorations can be put away. So there's that.

The meat breaks up so very easily!

The meat breaks up so easily after it's cooked. There is also the fact that there is no grease splatter to wipe up after. Pretty much a win. You can use a wooden spoon, stand mixer, hand mixer, or mix and chop to break up the meat.

Homemade taco seasoning, I keep a jar on hand for quick meals.

My taco seasoning can be found here. It's salt free, sugar free, and gluten free. Perfect for a Whole 30, Paleo, or Primal salad. Leave the chips and dairy off!
